There's something that is inherently shameful about acting not in alignment with ourselves, and there's something that is inherently shameful about that, even if we said something totally harmless, if it's something that we wouldn't have said.
Ever felt like anxiety was just a part of who you are, something you'd have to live with forever? Allison Micco knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of HOME Podcast, hosts Laura McKowen and Holly Whitaker chat with Allison about her long battle with anxiety. From her college days, when she was prescribed medication that led to addiction, to finally understanding the roots of her anxiety, Allison's journey is both eye-opening and relatable.
Allison dives into how anxiety can manifest in various forms, like panic disorder and social anxiety, and shares her personal experiences with these conditions. She also talks about the shame that often accompanies anxiety, making it a lonely struggle for many. But Allison's story doesn't stop at the struggle; she offers hope by sharing the tools and resources that helped her cope. Laura and Holly join the conversation with their own insights, discussing different approaches to managing anxiety.
They touch on mindfulness, self-care, and even the impact of substances like caffeine on anxiety levels. The episode also explores the benefits of yoga, meditation, and CBD oil as part of a holistic approach to mental health. What sets this episode apart is its focus on the universality of anxiety. It's a condition that affects so many people, yet it's often misunderstood or downplayed. Allison's candid discussion provides comfort and support, reminding listeners that they're not alone in their struggles.
As Holly aptly puts it at the end of the episode, "We're all in this together". If you or someone you know is grappling with anxiety, this episode is a must-listen. It offers valuable insights and practical tips for managing anxiety, along with a healthy dose of inspiration. Tune in to hear Allison's story and discover new ways to navigate the complexities of anxiety.
